- [2025] SGCA(I) 2
- Decision summary
- The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal and upheld the setting aside of the entire CPT-13 award for breach of natural justice under section 24(b) of the International Arbitration Act 1994. The breach concerned the process used to prepare the award by copying from parallel awards and permeated the whole award; remission was no longer available on appeal after the award had been set aside at first instance.
